Information is short on the ground concerning the upcoming fixture against St Mirren, we have so many players out with injuries, returning from injuries and may have injuries that unless your here with Sandy picking the team it would be hard to guess.
The good news is, Willie Mclaren made a come back to reserve football on Tuesday during a 3-3 draw with Gretna, Information from the club says that the full squad that played in it came through un-troubled. Mark Roberts managed to bang in the goals during the game and even if two were penalties, that is also a good sign.
We do know however that Paul Lovering is still out due to his fractured jaw.
It has also been announced that Airdrie will be playing in our black and red away trips due to a class with the St Mirren home tops.

St Mirren have been one of the luckiest teams in the Bells First Division this season having picked up very few injuries in the first round of games, this combined with Mixu Paatelainen picking up any lose goals has placed St Mirren firmly at the top of the league.
St Mirren have no injury worries coming in to the game and are determined to hold on to top spot. |

Ref Review |

Steve Conroy |
Games: 8 Yellow Cards: 28 Red Cards: 2 |

It wasn't a bad performance by Steve Conroy last week and as neither club has complained about Airdrie having the same ref two weeks in a row we can look forward to having Mr Conroy as the man in black once again. | |

Prediction |
|
Can we knock a team off the top of the league once again, I think so and we will do it with a 2-1 win |
